why are all female champions with primary assassin all ap?

amnesio··1 votes·1,415 views

Nidalee AP, Katarina AP, Akali AP, Evelynn AP, Leblanc AP. We have no AD female primary assassins. This doesn't count irelia nor fiora and so on, because they are primary a fighter and secondary assassin.

Most of those champions have good AD scalings... Kat, Eve, Akali. Just because you are hugging the meta and building them AP doesn't mean they can't be AD.

Why does it matter?

It's more of a coincidence I guess.

Katarina, Evelynn, and Akali have AD scalings. So you can technically go AD on them but you'll be a little less bursty from skills and will need to AA a lot more.

Coincidence?

Maybe we could get an ad female Yordle jungler assassin?

Curse you full AD Poppy! Get off that path before you fall down the same sad road as J4!

pls no. calm down, satan.

Aww...but I want a female Yordle that covers a role other Yordles haven't.

Because I find female Yordles adorable

I mean, technically Akali and Katarina are "hybrid" champions because hybrid champions are totally a legit thing outside of on-hit builds guys

Though all the female AD assassins have been reworked out of the game. RIP Old Poppy RIP Old Fiora RIP AD Nid (kind of) and good fucking riddance

Most AD Female Assassins are usually Ranged, Burst heavy Marksman (see Vayne and Quinn)

yes but they are primary marksman so they don't count

Because you need to think for something more than your Pee pee, to be able to cast abilities Kappa.

joke aside, you can play Kata and Eve even nidalee AD without an issue actually...

Because casting spells = brain power but brain power =/= the male gender.

Just kidding well sort of.

I'm a male and I'm stupid. That's why I play braindead champs liek Trynd, Yi and Darius.

140% legit!

Akali is mixed. She's neither primary AD or AP.

But we really don't need this.

I can't remember. Was Poppy's OLD Assassin first? I think one of hers was an assassin. Otherwise, I think that it is just a coincidence.

Quinn is about as close as it gets.

Men are physically stronger most of the time so they can wield huge axes and big swords. The women on the other hand have to rely less on brute strength....so magic ?

Does Kat look like the kind of human that could lug around a large sword around comfortably ? Shit won't look natural....but Tryndamere, can't imagine him with anything other than some huge piece of metal walking around clubbing people to death.

This makes like, no sense at all. Kat and Akali do have weapons. No, they're not as heavy as Tryndamere's sword, but none of the AD assassins have weapons that heavy either.

It's nothing to do with strength levels of the two genders.

Creating a wall of wind with a sword that can block missiles and tidal waves make no sense either. You're taking my comment too seriously. :D

No he wasn't. Your comment had no real relation to the topic. Men being stronger had nothing to do with why there are no female AD assassins. They're are plenty of bulky females, and he made a good point, none of the male assassins have bulky weapons, so strength has no involvement in this topic.

Riven Sejuani Illaoi Vi Shyvana all are muscular or use large weapons equal to that of other human males.

I was just musing. Didn't really expect to start a debate over this.

There are plenty of female champions that fight with physical damage.

The closest thing to a female AD assassin right now is probably Irelia , although she is a brusier.

Riven Is also a quasi-assassin/skirmisher

Riot should've reworked Katarina an AD.

This sentence looks like an excuse just to uphold your first sentence in order to gain unnecessary attention.

The only 2 AD primary assassins that are human are Talon and Zed.

Can't really ask for gender equality when there is literally only 2 samples.

Also why enforce it in the first place? not every male thing need to have a female equivalent.
